I am curios though and forgive my stupidity but I've never been down to that area. Are these manatees free to roam out into other areas or are they "corralled" into this one lake?
@norcaldj The manatees are wild and normally live in coastal ocean water and some rivers. The ocean was colder than normal, so cold that the manatees followed the warmer waters of the river to the spring head where the water is constantly 72F. So manatees had been rescued from cold ocean water where the were in distress and near death but most came on their own.
@mars1952 Thank you very much for the reply! Thank you very much more though for the kindness of the response. I swear some people's videos you ask a question and get your head bitten off or something sheesh! I love the video!
@norcaldj Thanks for watching. Just like in real life there are a lot of rude and ignorant people on YouTube. I coined a name for them: "JAMWAK". JAMWAKS are Just Another Moron With A Keyboard.
Awesome. Thanks for posting this. I grew up in Florida. We lived in Ft.Lauderdale on a canal and there was always manatee in there. Thanks for bringing me back!!!
